Arguments and Discussions On Use of Perso-Arabic
In almost all countries which use Perso-Arabic script, there have been discussions between parties about replacing it, often raising the concept of romanization. For example:
- Tajikistan has implemented a Cyrillic alphabet instead of Perso-Arabic
- Turkish people have chosen a Latin-Based Turkish alphabet, in part because the eight vowels of Turkish were ambiguously represented by only three symbols
- Azerbaijan and Uzbek implemented Cyrillic, but have since switched to Latin alphabets.
- In Iran, methods of romanizations like desphilic and Unipers have been invented.
- Kurdish language has utilized a Kurdish Latin alphabet

Famous quotes containing the words arguments and/or discussions:
“There is no assurance of the great fact in question [namely, immortality]. All the arguments are mere probabilities, analogies, fancies, whims. We believe, or disbelieve, or are in doubt according to our own make-up—to accidents, to education, to environment. For myself, I do not reach either faith or belief ... that I—the conscious person talking to you—will meet you in the world beyond—you being yourself a conscious person—the same person now reading what I say.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“When I read of the vain discussions of the present day about the Virgin Birth and other old dogmas which belong to the past, I feel how great the need is still of a real interest in the religion which builds up character, teaches brotherly love, and opens up to the seeker such a world of usefulness and the beauty of holiness.”
—Olympia Brown (1835–1900)
